Request to add TOTP 2FA authenticator support in Piefed (piefed.world)

On PieFed World v1.1.7-13-ge3e624cc, currently only Passkeys and OAuth authentication is supported in the settings. I'm not sure if Piefed Social latest v1.3.6 version supports TOPT 2FA or if this issue is only pertaining to Piefed World instance.

If this feature is missing, kindly add a new feature to support TOPT 2FA based authentication. Thanks...

Fair.

But with the simplicity of TOTP, I would expect it whenever there is 2fa in a service. Plus passkeys are not as widely used or even known as TOTP.

Also I remember Lemmy 2FA causing some issues at the beginning, locking people out of their accounts.

Oh yes, that did happen. But it was the fault of the Lemmy devs, not because "TOTP is bad and hard".

Again, until now, nobody brought it up

Nobody brought it up during the 2025 roadmap prioritisation: https://codeberg.org/rimu/pyfedi/projects/30813

You can already see in 1.5 issues for the API endpoints for the feeds : https://codeberg.org/rimu/pyfedi/projects/30813 . I would personally prefer those to be prioritized over TOTP , especially as passkeys are already available, but in the end rimu will judge.
